This is the official website for the Highland High Class of 1965. This is the place for all of us to enter our own information, share interesting things about ourselves with our classmates, and keep in touch. This is also where you can come to find out about upcoming events that are planned, including future reunions. So check back often, and update your own profile to let us know what you are doing. And if you know someone who is in our class, but has not yet signed up, contact them and encourage them to get them onboard!

WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT BEGUN - November 19, 2014

This is when we started thinking about how to do our website. So many names and yearbook photos to scan and put on the website. So many great memories brought back!

WEBSITE LAUNCHED - December 4, 2014

Reunion website launched to start spreading the word, to get on your busy calendars, and to allow each of you to be a detective and help find as many as possible of our '65 classmates. Here is a graph showing the growth of the number of classmates on our website. When you joined the website, you added one red dot on that date. Which red dot is yours?

As a little remembrance, here are a few reminders about our fantastic 50th reunion dinner. Do you remember Snelgroves? The Arctic Circle? The Pizza Oven? The Tampico restaurant? Who could forget those classic Highland hangouts?! We hope you loved the reunion dinner, re-creating some of the feelings from these favorite old haunts.

I checked the obituaries in the Trib this morning like I do every day to see if I'm in there, and sadly noticed that two great guys from our class had passed on. Hank Rothwell, a very friendly classy guy who was the center on our football squad, died as a result of an accident riding one of his Arabian horses. Randy Speers also passed on after a decade of fighting Parkinson's disease. Randy was such a super nice guy I ran into several times at keg parties after high school. He was super friendly and I enjoyed his company. RIP fellow Rams!

The reunion was more fun, more fulfilling than I would have ever hoped. It was fun to see and talk with friends and classmates from so long ago. It was fun to meet classmates that I really don't remember knowing back in the days. The Country Club was a beautiful back drop. The food was fun and appropriate. To those who planned or provided the entertainment, thank you for helping us remember.

We owe a very big THANK YOU to the many who planned, organized, and gave so much selfless effort to make this reunion a pleasant reality for the rest of us. -- Jim Petersen
